[sudo-discuss] Re: Heads up: if you want Grand ave. to go on a road diet, the city needs to hear from you on Tues.

Hey Sudoers, I just learned that Oakland's city planners are being pressured by AC Transit to curtail their bikable city plan on Grand Avenue! And there's a public hearing meeting on *Tuesday, July 25 at 6:30 - 7:30* here: https://meet.google.com/tzk-sbcu-uwk You can read more details here (SF Streetsblog) <https://sf.streetsblog.org/2023/07/18/oakdot-killing-grand-avenue-road-diet-at-ac-transits-request>, but the short version is that the city said it wants to make Grand Avenue look more like Telegraph, which I love, and instead the bus company is like, "No, fuck that, add in another lane of high speed traffic through an urban neighborhood. We might want it in the future. Fuck parks and restaurants, we want concrete and steel suffocating the community. If you've got a minute during Hardware Hacking Tuesday, drop in and be heard. This is crazy, and I really hope we can speak loudly enough to keep AC Transit from fucking up a good plan. Lots of love, *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>
